10 Hidden Horror-Comedy Movies That Are Actually Terrifying

10. Taxidermia (2006)

With a title like that, it's not hard to predict some rather perverse stuff appearing in this film. But, even so, you have no idea what kind of nightmares await you in this surreal Hungarian horror comedy.

The film tells the story of three generations of men. The first is a perverted WWII orderly, the second is a champion speed-eater, and the last is a gifted taxidermist. While the flick tells the story of their misadventures, it's also an allegory of the history of Hungary, all the way through WWII to the modern day - well, modern as it was in 2006.

Taxidermia is visually stimulating, not just in a violent body horror kind of way, but artistically as well. There's an undeniable sense of imagination in the film, as the imagery it conjures up is grand and quirky, and the camera techniques (such as shot composition and movements) are incredibly creative.

It's also a kaleidoscope of emotions, as the dark sense of humour will get you laughing, the grotesque imagery will unsettle your stomach, and the surprisingly touching moments will come for your heart. Still, It's terrifying first and foremost, thanks to the sheer amount of disturbing elements - like bestiality, violence and self-surgery.
